poiss.samp: Estimates sample sizes for desired power using simulation...

In RSPS: RNA-Seq Power Simulation

Description

The function provides estimate of sample size for given power when there is over-dispersion. The data is simulated from Poisson distribution.

Usage

poiss.samp(power, lambda1, k, alpha, seed, numsim, sig)

Arguments

power	A vector of values between 0 and 1 representing desired power.
lambda1	Mean count under the null distribution. It can be a vector.
k	Fold change desired under the alternative distribution. It can be a vector.
alpha	Type I error rate: a value between 0 and 1. It can be a vector.
seed	Value of seed to ensure reproducibility of results.
numsim	Number of simulations. 1000 is recommended.
sig	Number of significant digits after decimal.

Details

The test statistic used is the scaled difference. Please contact the authors for more details on algorithm.

Value

Power.Expected	Desired Power.
Mean.Null	Mean Count under Null distribution.
Effect.Size	Fold Change Under the alternate hypothesis.
N.est	Estimated sample size.
Power.est	Estimated Power.
Std.Err	Standard Error.

Examples

power = c(0.7,0.8);lambda1=3;k=seq(2,3,0.5);
alpha=0.01;seed = 20;numsim=100
sample.poiss <- poiss.samp(power,lambda1,k,alpha,seed,numsim)
sample.poiss
# Another example (takes longer to run)
#power = seq(0.7,0.9,0.05);lambda1=3;k=seq(2,3,0.5);
#alpha=0.005;seed = 20;numsim=1000
#sample.poiss <- poiss.samp(power,lambda1,k,alpha,seed,numsim)
#sample.poiss
